Cardiff Will Not Sign.

The efforts to induce Cardiff to name a
date for meeting with Pat Killen have
failed. Kilen has offered every induce
ment and met every objection fairly, but
Cardiff positively declines to put his name
to any writing which binds him to meet
Killen. He has disgusted even his friends
and has even failed to come to
terms which his hacker and part
ner. John Donaldson, was willing to
agree to. Cardiff says he will name date
after he meets Sullivan. 1t is doubtful if
he will do it even then, as his idea seems to
be to have one fight a year and then live on
it. humane, Killen's hacker, goes to
Chicago next week to arrange meeting
with Kilrain, Glover or Burke, OF any one
else who is willing to meet his man, the
match to take place at Minneapolis.

LONDON, March 26.-The annual boat
race between the crews of Oxford and Cam
bridge universities took place to-day over
the usual course on the Thames, from Put
ney to Mortlake and was won by the Cam
bridge crew. The wind was fresh and the
water lumpy. The betting just before the
start was Is to s in favor of Cambridge.
When the crews launched their boats Just
prior to the start. the weather threatened
rain. When the signal for the race was
given. the Cambridge crew at once took
the lead, rowing with slightly more
rapid stroke than that used by their OppO-
nents. AT the end of the first mile the Cam
bridge boat was half length ahead, the
race having been Stubbornly contested all
the way. The OXfords then spurted. To
this the Cambridge men responded instantly
and effectively, so that at Hammersmith
bridge, nearly two miles from tine start,
they had increased their lead to a whole
boat length. Here the Oxford crew again
put in fresh burst of speed and drew up
towards their opponents, but managed to
cut down only part OF the lead against
them. At Chiswick the OxfordS had
IMPROVED THEIR ROWING
so much that the Cambridge men in their
efforts to retain their lead rowed a little
wildly and finally splashed, but they re-
covered themselves quickly and by SUI
preme effort made up their loss and regained
their length Of lead which had been some
what curtailed although their boat rolled a
good deal under the inequality of the
efforts of the crew. At Barnes bridge,
three miles and five furlongs from the
start the Cambridge boat was lead
ing by length and half. After
passing the bridge the Oxford crew
broke an oar. That, of course. secured the
race for the Cambridge men and they won
easily by three lengths. The race was a
fine Contest as far as Barnes bridge, being
strongly contested every inch up to this
point. The Oxford crew pulled better than
their opponents did and it is agreed on all
hands that the distance they lost before
they broke their oar was lost by bad steer
ing entirely. The time of. the Cambridge
crew was twenty minutes and fifty-two
seconds. The length of the course is four
miles and two furlongs.

BASE BALL.
President Young. of the National
League, Thinks the Games This
Year Will be Hi ghiy Interesting.

Year Will be Hi hiy Interesting.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-N. e. Young,
president of the National League of base
ball clubs, was interviewed by an AssO-
ciated Press reporter to-day on the. outlook
for the approaching year. This season,
Mr.. Young thinks. will doubtless be the
most interesting since the formation of the
league. in 1878. He assigns for this be-
lief various reasons. First. the clubs of tie
organization are more equal in playing
strength than ever before. Second. almost
every team has secured at least three or
five young and ambitious players who have
good reputation but whose ability in the
league is problematical and therefore an I'M
known quantity. Third, the new rules
adopted by the league at its fail meeting
were so radical, not to say revolutionary,
that their effect on the various players
will be the subject of much speculation
and comment as to which players will be
benefited by them and whom they will most
seriously iniure. The batting this year, he
says, will be much harder and more long
hits will be recorded than since the prime
days of straight pitching, and, while this
will naturally tend to make the contests
more interesting and exciting to the specta-
tors. it will also prOlong the games very
considerably. The very tiresome pitcher
and catcher games, which occurred too fire.
Quently last season, will not be in order
this year. 1t Was principally for this rea-
son, he says, that the rules were amended
and so many restrictions placed on the
pitcher. A game under the new rules, Mr..
Young contends, in which a pitcher can
hold an opposing team down to five base
hits, will be as rare and considered as mar
velous this season as one in which pitcher
retired an opposing nine with one base hit
last season.
Do you anticipate trouble with the new
rules?
II do not. These rules were not formu-
lated until they were thoroughly discussed
in all their bearings by the managers and
the most prominent players in the profess
sion. OF course they will be experimental
to certain extent but they are in many
respects superior to the old rules. and
will conduce very materially to make
contests more exciting and attractive If,
however, after a satisfactory trial they
should prove failure, which l do not eX-
pect. they can be easily changed by special
meeting of the league committees, which
has full power to make whatever change
may be deemed eXpedient.
Mr.. Young has received and approved the
following contracts with players: With
Washington, Fred l.. Shaw, w. o'Brien
and j. b. D0nnelly; with New York, NJ.
Dorgan and w. Brown; with ST. Louis, D.
l.. FOutZ and r. G. Carruuhers; with In
dianapelis,- Jerry Denny and p. CahiH.
The Philadelphia club has notified MIR.
Young of the release by that club Of j.
Murphy and j. u. Dallas. The Kansas
City club has been admitted to member
lin the Western league.

Special to the Globe.
ST. CLOUD. Mimi, March 26.--The
sparring exhibition at the opera house to-
night opened with a four round glove con-
test between Patsey Carr, aged IA, and
another kid Dy the name of Smith. Patsey
posed as the champion feather weight of
ST. Cloud, and was very generous in his
treatment toward his opponent, who was
hardly match for him. The referee
awarded the match to Patsey amid tremend-
Gus applause. Robert Summons and an
unknown were next announced to appear
in the ring in four-round act for points.
AS a result Mr.. Unknown. was badly
worsted. Finally at 9:45 the event of the
evening commenced in the appearance of
Doug Tousley and Patsey Welch j. A.
Murphy acted as referee and stated the con-
ditons. After the customary Salutation the
men came together in the center of the ring.
They spared cautiously for points,
Tousey doing the best work. In the
second round Tousley forced the
fight, but Welch did artful lodging,
going under the ropes twice. The men
came together with a. rush In the third
round. Nothing definite resulted. WEIGH
claimed two fouls, but the referee did not
honor them. In the beginning of the fourth
round Tousley swung his right to the side
of WEIGH and at the end of the round scored
the first knock down. WEIGH, however,
planting an ineffective blow on Tousley's
chin. In the fifth round nothing effective
was done, Tousley forcing the fight and
WEIGH doing nothing but mere artful dodg-
ing. In the sixth round WEIGH did little
better. but it now became evident that he
was no match for Tousley and he resorted
to his lodging again. In the seventh round
WEIGH picked up little courage. but he
soon came to grief by receiving a blow in

The following is attributed to John l..
Sullivan by the Boston Herald:
"Have you heard that Kilien and Cardiff
have deposited a forfeit of $3.50 eacb, to fight
two weeks after you and Cardiff have
sparred?''
mo, did not; but if they do Killen will
win. You can believe men when tell you
that Killen is good man. and have no hes-
tation in saying that, if l had him, or was
back of him, l could make him whip any man

duty in doing" Cardiff if he does not crawl
out of it before the evening set down for the
contest. You can stand on me- he said,

Di covery of a Mother-Her Chfld's Blood
! Being Sucked from its Veins by Man.
SYRACUSE, n. Y, Jan. 3l.-Mlchael
Rola, an Italian who recently came to this
country, told q strange story to the po-
lice. He says that Marie Decycraga, who
keeps the boarding house where he lived,
gave birth to child two months ago,
which was in perfect health until fifteen
days ago, since which time 1t has rapidly
lost flesh. The mother does all the work +,
and the baby is generally attended by
some of the Italians who are out of en-
plOyment.
The child's grandfather, Antonio Decy-
craga, who arrived from Italy three
months ago, has been with the baby much
of the time. Decycraga is said to have
TOLD OTHER ITALIANS .
that where ne came from he had
learned how to suck q mans blood. Rola
says that several times since the infant
began wasting away marks were discov-
cred on its arms, the skin appearing TO
have been pierced in several places.
Rola declared that the child's father
one day accused the old man of having
bitten the infants arm and of sucking
blood from the wound, and said that if
the old man ever ill-trested the baby
again he would kill him. Decycraga is
said to have responded: 81 won't do it
again" Rola says that several men at
the lodging house bear
MARKS OF BEING BITTEN.
He has been at the boarding house only q
week, and says he would not sleep there
another night.
A visit to the boarding house disclosed
g scene of squalor. About twenty 1tal-
ians were lounglng about 8 stove on
which scraps of meat were simmering.
In wooden box nailed to the wall, about
foot from the stove, lay the infant,
whose mother took it out of the box and
unwIapped about two yards of bed tick
ing which had been wound about the
chiId's body.
FROM HEAD TO FOOT
The child's bones were barely covered
with flesh. The skin looked as if it had
been scared on stove, and was marked
with scars.
A young Itslian, who said that Decy-
craga had sucked bis blood, removed mis-
clothing and showed spots on his body
where the skin had been broken. An
tonic Decycraga is about ffty-fve years
old. The case has been reported to the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty to
Children, who will investigate it.

What is Required of Young Women who

The requirements for young women
who wish to adopt the stage are serious
and potent factors in ones career. Ia
lent Is always appreciated when it has
its opportunity; of genius there is no
question; but even with great talent the
absence of what is termed stage appear
ance is almost fatal. For this reason
many girls obtain access to the stage who
are magnificentlY endowed with all re
quirements save one-talent; but al
though these endowments are most CRATE
full at times, and add muu2 to our
pleasure, a mere prettiness becomes tire
some, and their coign of vantsge is not
great.
l cannot do better, in speaking OF re-
quirements, than to revive a list sent 10 q
young woman seeking advice by clever
far western critic, which is the shortest
and mos complete lecture on the stage
that could, perhaps, be found. One only
might be added-this: The patience to
read calmly in the papers everything and
anything of personal nature IL yourself,
which may be far from the bounds of eX-
actness, and to know with infinite phil
osophy that these easily believed reports
will be copied throughout the Union, snd
yet never to be betrayed into refutation.
Our westerner advises these equip
ments:
A strong physique.
An unimpaired digestion.
A slender figure.
A marked face.
Strong features.

A lack of real feeling.
An abundance of pretended feeling.
Much magnetism.
Great fascination of manner.
Purity of speech.
Elocution to degree.
A general knowledge of hist1ry.
A good general education.
A general knowledge of Cosi ming.
A practical knowledge of economy in

An artistic knowledge of tn effects of

Considerable business faculty.

A capacity for taking pains.
An absolute and undisputed devotion to

An unwedded life.
An ability to distinguish criticism from
